Excerpt

This is an important study demonstrating the radiation safety and effectiveness of the ultrasonography (US), adjacent to plain film, in the postoperative follow-up of children with ureteral calculi treated with ureteroscopy (URS) [1]. US is the most popular, effective and X-ray free imaging modality used for children in the diagnosis of follow-up period. In addition, it provides the three-dimensional visualization of the urinary tract. Doppler US is another safety and highly specific method in the diagnosis of residual ureteral stones after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) [2]. The usage of doppler US in the follow-up of children after the URS procedure may increase the sensitivity and specificity of the US. …
